Invoices 221 and 222
182.These invoices relate to the reinstallation of a coffee machine and granite work tops. There was no reason why the granite worktops could not be reused: there was no evidence that they were damaged or had been damaged during storage. In relation to the coffee machine, there was no evidence that it had been installed before the second inundation; indeed, on the balance of probabilities, the coffee machine was either not installed at the time of the first inundation or, at the latest, removed in consequence of the first inundation. Either way, it is not recoverable from the defendants. ix)
